Modern+Terrorism

= Modern Terrorism =



==Definition: The act of causing public hysteria and fear through the use of indiscriminate and lethal means. This act can be motivated by political, religious, and cultural beliefs. Lethal means include such things as suicide bombings, car bombings, hostage taking, public assassination, and hijacking of vehicles. Acts of Terrorism can also be directed at public and private property with the intention of destroying or damaging it. Terrorism can be directed at countries, governments, or political officials in an attempt to cause the said target to abstain from a political act. Terrorism may also be supported by, or even caused by, certain states in an attempt to control or invoke fear in their own people. Terrorism usually targets non-combatants in a country, attacking life, liberty, and property. Terrorism, however terrible of an act it may be, has no definite definition according to the UN; some Islamic countries even allow terrorist groups to function within their borders, because they refuse to recognize them as terrorists. However, terrorism is very controversial, being seen as evil and revolutionary at the same time depending on who's eyes you're looking through. ==
